Hellzapoppin is dead, long live Hellzapoppin! Yep, it's unlikley that one of our favourite Yeastie Boys' beers won't be brewed for the forseeable future, so we did what any beer obsessive would do and asked Stu McKinlay for his homebrew recipe. And he gave it to us!

Some useful notes
* the original beer uses Gladfield Manuka Smoked Malt, which is unavailable in UK. We suggest Weyermann Rauch Malz as the best alternative.
* if NZ hops are difficult to find, we'd suggest replacing them as follows: Pacific Jade can be replaced with Magnum. Nelson Sauvin with a tropical and/or sweaty new world hop such as Galaxy or Simcoe. Rakau could be replaced with any hop that displays stonefruit and pine notes (possibly Amarillo).
